Vendetta Run

You’ve done worse things, but you’ve never done anything as dangerous as angering the Earps. Because now they’re coming to kill you. And they can’t be killed. Not permanent, anyhow. A survival-horror frame for Fear Itself and Owl Hoot Trail set in the worst and weirdest West.

In December 1881, after the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, three Cowboys ambushed and shot Virgil Earp. Three months later, four Cowboys shot Morgan Earp in the back and killed him. Wyatt Earp assembled a posse of his surviving relations and willing gunmen to hunt down the killers, gunning down the Cowboy Frank Stilwell in Tucson on March 20, 1882. You and the other Cowboys can no longer count on corrupt or intimidated local authorities for protection. The Earps have turned vigilante, riding out in vendetta against you, and you have turned and run.

The players all take the roles of Cowboys, members of the quasi-criminal ring of local rustlers and thieves in cahoots with Sheriff Behan. One of you may even be Sheriff Behan – the Earps no longer care about legal niceties. Your party is one group of Cowboys, with the Earps’ posse on their trail.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
